NOTHING FROM NOTHING / BILLY PRESTON

[SmedleysPeople]

17 gutless slackers are AWOL from the War on Poverty

[diannagrana1]

Always loved this song as a kid in the late 70's & more today. They had great talent back then.

Today's music stars are good but back then, it was great.

[MrJuanitoka]

Canción que fue No. 1 en los días que nací.

[angelakatherine]

@MrJuanitoka the same here

[MalvinasChick]

It's amazing South Park and Youtube can lead to some great music :)

[starbreezevillage]

Heard this song on my local radio station's "Flashback to 60s, 70s, and 80s" awhile back. Never found the song later on youtube until today. LOVE THIS SONG

[tanner87]

i'd like to see justin bloody bieber play an instrument

[AlltelJohnny12]

fuckin musical genius. this song is the shit

[LaPotraBellaca]

poor baby had such a sad life

[buzookalu123]

ELF soundtrack, anyone? amirite?!

[loveyaback123]

I found out about this song when I was on netflix watching the first epiode of Saturday Night live in 1975 and Billy Preton was performing this song. After that I was ADDICTED to this song

[Torus202]

@loveyaback123 I first heard this song on SNL too. I've loved it ever since as well. I was born in '75 and I get a kick out of telling people Billy Preston was the first ever musical guest on SNL in the year I was born, lol.

[leftasmokingcrater]

@loveyaback123 are you me? but seriously,I love watching those old Saturday Night Live episodes,It kinda gives you a feel for what it was like back then. pretty neat times.,Hard to believe it was 40 years ago

[mamadthomas1]

[NeilKensington]

[TheFemmgurl]

I went out to lunch the other day and this song came on their speakers... good times! I had forgotten how much I loved this song.

[hangemhigh2000]

[jukeboxmistress9]

nothin from nothing leaves nothin.. can be used for many lessons in life.

[kirkconway]

good catchy tune yrs ago when id be un my room building a model or just

doing whatever.

[TheKingarrives]

I never fully heard this song, until now I wouldve thought it was Stevie Wonder. (DONT KILL ME) or compare them!(just what I thought) lol

[sonickage]

@TheKingarrives me too lol

[SiriusXAim]

16 peoples doesn't like real music. Justin Bieber's probably one of 'em.

[willemik1]

[Fuzzboy100]

i saw a south park ep and i thought this was a fake song so i looked it up :O

[9112251]

I want to know how can I grow a fro like him geesh!!!

[VIKINGxDNA]

@9112251 If your white you can forget it. lol

Your better off without one.

Start getting a little racial love for your own , After all . We are the ones who brought this world out of the mud hut.

[nanerrat]

@VIKINGxDNA Threatening to kill me on a public forum was REALLY STUPID. The police report has been filed and charges are being drawn up. And you better hope you live in the same state as me or the Feds will get involved.

Make things easier for all of us and just turn yourself in.

It wont be so bad.

I hear Federal Prison is a Bone Smokers paradise.

Your gonna love it there.

[VIKINGxDNA]

@nanerrat Haa Haa Haaa GO FUCK YOUR SELF COCKSUCKER.

[VIKINGxDNA]

@nanerrat The only thing drawn up , Is STUCK UP YOUR BLACK NIGGER ASS.

[WEEDITA]

Most Awesome, Timeless. We, as a society must listen. las penas son de nosotros, las vaquitas son ajenas

[everybodytogethernow]

[John117Chief1]

16 people suck

[Influx27]

@John117Chief1 for what? disliking the video? maybe disliking how sunnychopper82's editing or sound setup? If all you think that someone could be disliking is the song then you have got a lot to learn, son.

So there's always hope my friend......look and YOU WILL find it. ;-)

[wolfkarel]

@tamerswan Hmmmmm.....if you have nothing....then how are you replying to this? Apparently you have a pc .....so I would say you have something!

[namesuser1590]

[shuree681]

@JMoNticello86 If you were in that era, you wouldn't have said his fro is sick,,,that was rude,,,,

[ericsyutubeaccount]

@shuree681 sick means good

[shuree681]

@ericsyutubeaccount Oh ok, i just misunderstood, didn't wanna knock, Preston,,,,,,

[tomb833]

@shuree681 thats not what he means.. Sick is a synonym for awesome/cool

[JMoNticello86]

This song is da bomb!

[grizzlyfan41]

I think 14 people didn't have anything to begin with.....

[guitarbyous]

This song disproves the big bang theory!!

[Nashhinton]

@guitarbyous, LOL so true.

[TheLadandLass]

[ckswartwood]

[TriangleSquare52]

I began watching this video on April 3, 2008..I have not left my computer since.

[BurgerChefGuy]

@TriangleSquare52 Geee, if you have been sitting there that long you must really have to go to the bathroom by now!  HeeeHeeeHeee!!!!!

[MrBear27615]

Love the fat horns and Billy's hot keyboards on this track

[ChocoLogs00]

This is simply beautiful

[alrad2020]

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH play it again Billy!!!!!

[bleemster]

woooooooohhhhhhhoooooooooooooo­oooooooooo!

[LeOnIdAs162]

What's the name of this music style ? Soul ?

[DrunkPerson]

@LeOnIdAs162 rhythm and blues i think



[ledgo22]

@DrunkPerson I'd say a little more to funk to an extent.

[musiclove291]

@LeOnIdAs162 according to iTunes billy preston is classified as R&B/Soul... personally I see HUGE elements of funk here, but preston's good enough to span several genres... in the end, classify him however you want to!

[MKA829]

@musiclove291 the problem with itune is that they don't make any differencies between RN'B and Rithm' and Blues. It makes me feel a bit sad...

[bs176257]

This song is so great i wish it would go on forever

[mrlazyboi123]

No matter how many times i listen to this, i still find myself singing along

[BLOODSTRYKA]

The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka

[iamclover]

@ArcadeMan1994 Hell yeah!

[JohnetteNapolitano2]

No wonder why the Stones had him as a keyboard player back in the 70's.

[elmakartany]

The fifth Beatle for a while.....

[cockardo]

This makes me visualise a pimp strutting down a New York street in the '70s, haha.

[baronsatfilms]

What is that music before the song started?

[jvlivs2]

Man, music today ain't JACK compared to this! William Everett Preston was the cat.

[VenomShock]

I'm having a really confusing/weird emotion right now.

I'm listening to this song, which makes me instantly cheerful and happy everytime I listen to it. I love the hell out of it.

I'm also reading about the film "The Exorcist" which makes me instantly uncomfortable/feel gross (in a frightened sort of way) everytime I think about it. Yet I have some sort of weird and unhealthy obsession with it.

The feelings I get from both are clashing right now in an indefinable emotion. It's weird.

[taylor289706]

14 people hate life

[thesamnsays]

finding songs like this is why im glad i listen to the radio

[thebeany]

I love it. Go Billy Preston!!

[adric137]

a great song!!

[TacoManTuesday]

WOOOAAAAAAHHH!

[walrusss90]

The 5 BEATLE!

[TayTheGameCarter]

Lmao this song makes me wonder how much fun it would be back in these days. Smh this music is what kids should hear, not the crap mainstream puts out today. Billy Preston always!

[Sakreos]

all the philosophy from the song :D !! love it

[music1039lover]

oops broke the replay button

[music1039lover]

im young and i love this song!!!!!!

[badboyandsexyman]

lo mejor de billy es esta cancion arriba preston yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brownsista777]

Yeah!!!!!!

[ekiZii]

awesome



[keepingitreal15]

There has never been a truer song in history. As a poor person myself I can tell you for real that if you have nothing I'm going to pull a tina turner line "What's love gotta do with it?" lol!!!!!!!!!

[iw32]

14 people are truly nothing.

[badboyandsexyman]

amo esta cancion es de primera

[MsL0vie]

this song is in the 1999 larel & hardy movie. too funny!

[cucheme]

This is music....

[LeftHandSouth24]

OMG MAN THE PIANO ON THE INTRO IS TAKIN ME ALL THE WAY IN!!! LOL..I THINK IMMA PLAY THIS AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY..

[barbaramilhem]

Got to love it. You may not agree with it, but you have to admit that the guy had some serious talent, and knew how to get people movin'! Such a loss.

[ittspitts]

PLAYANDPLAYANDPLAYANDPLAYANDPL­AY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN BECAUSE THIS SONG IS so fucking pterodaculous.

[wizardbaker]

Moral of story: I won't date you unless you got cash.

XD

[pinkemerald1970]

One of my most favorte songs in the WORLD! : ) Billy Preston was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheQuantum09]

The INTRO to this song STILL HOLDS UP.

[mortskaew]

Prestons' contribution to popular music is his feel for the keyboard. Piano or organ, he is a pleasure to listen to. Listen to :shine a light or concert for Banglisdesh'. there is plenty more.......believe me

[lazyboi226]

[DoctorDreyer]

[killthephonies]

@DoctorDreyer the same way you're proud to take dicks up your ass daily and nightly.

[PeaceLemony]

@DoctorDreyer You must be having a laugh...you need to musically educate yourself mate, seriously you'll be better off for it
